Chopsuey

Just last night a great idea came to mind, I'll blog everything that i cook. I'm a newbie when it comes to cooking but growing up with a father who's a good cook, i think I've inherited a little.

I started cooking just a month ago and luckily i got good results, some are even perfectly delicious. But there's no proof to it, right?! So i asked some of my office-mates/friends to comment on the food, i think that would be fair enough.

Menu for the day: Chop Suey

veggies:
2pc carrots
1pc cauliflower
1pc sayote
1pc green bell pepper
1pack chicharo
1pack young corn
cabbage

Ingredients:
1bar butter or margarine (or veg oil)
1pc red onions, medium, sliced
5cloves garlic, minced
1/4k shrimps or
1pack shrimp pangsahog (wet section in groceries)
1can mushroom
1tbsp soy sauce
2cups water
2tsp corn starch
10pcs quail eggs
salt and pepper

Procedure:
1. Slice vegetables into bite size. Put a tablespoon of butter into a heated pan, wait till bubbles disappear. Add sliced carrots and stir fry, don't over cook. (Tip: get a slice and take a bite, should be crunchy and not too tender). Follow the same procedure to the remaining sliced veggies, do it by group. Set aside.

2. Heat pan. Add a tsp of butter or veg oil and sautee garlic, onion and shrimp. Wait till the shrimp turns pink then add the mushroom. Add soysauce.

3. Dissolve cornstarch in water.

4. Add water mixture into the pan. Wait to boil. If you want the sauce to be thick, just add more cornstarch to the water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To Serve:
1. Pour the sauce into the veggies. Add quail eggs. Serve hot.


So there you go, a healthy good food for everyone...
